Cannot check out initial directory

[User 482b7]

The issue looks exactly like this one.

And it seems I am not the only one: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/268681/code-checkout-not-working

I am getting the same error. On one directory in the defaultCollection it works, on another in the same collection it does not.

Very interesting, I'll check this up.

Update: the error was caused by privileges in TFS. Although I was able to browse everything via web, it seems that it was blocking something for the plugin. I forced recursive adding to specific privilege groups and that fixed the problem.

It is good news. I believe there should be a checkout permission.
